Motorized Skylight Shades

Motorized Skylight Shades offer the most amount of flexibility, especially for shades which are located higher than manual telescopic operating poles can reach. With the use of multiple unit remote controls and switches, a number of shades can be opened or closed at the same time. In addition, the programmable timer gives more flexibility and control options than ever offered before. Motorized skylight shades need to be custom ordered. Please download a brochure, request a quote, or contact us for more information.

Motorized Skylight Shades are available with three power sources:

Battery Operated with a wand with 8 lithium batteries. These batteries generally last 1-2 years. The batteries are usually located behind the shade headrail. It is best to try to keep the batteries out of the sun. Also available are 48” or 96” cord extensions to aid in positioning the battery wand closer to the user.

Hard Wired with 120 Volt AC/DC power centers (transformers). The wires get wire nutted to the wires coming out of the shade headrail and are led to a convenient source of 120 volt AC current to plug in the transformer. An attic or closet location is the usual location to make this connection. The power center plugs into the 120 volt outlet or can be hard wired in a switch box.

Solar Charged Battery Tube – a little more complex and the batteries are good for 5 years.

The shades can be operated with various controls:

Single Unit Radio Frequency Remote Control

Four Channel Radio Frequency Remote Control

Single Unit wall mounted wireless switch

Four Unit wall mounted wireless switch

Single Channel Programmable Timer

Remote controls and wall switches operate in the same manner. The wall switches are wireless and are powered by a battery. All controls operate up to 150 feet away from the shade even through walls, although not steel.
